    Superstition Mountain Mystery 3 Gun Competition 2013

    This competition took place almost a month ago, but I'm just now getting around to processing the photos. The venue wasn't very conducive to photography unless you're one of the official photographers, so I didn't get very many pictures and the ones I did get weren't that great. But, I'd still like to share this great sport with the rest of the world.

    Three gun is what the name implies. An action shooting sport that uses 3 kinds of guns, a handgun, semi auto rifle (and sometimes full auto), and shotgun. On any given course, you might shoot one of them or all three of them.

    Here's one of the first stages, where the competitor has to shoot through the windshield of the car and hit the plate rack. Off to the right, there are some clay pigeons that need to be shot with a rifle.


    Here's what one of the stage welcome signs looks like, along with the course of fire.


    This is a highly modified shotgun, dedicated for this sport.


    This next sequence is a rifle course that requires short range shots and long range shots.


    He's shooting the rifle sideways because he has offset sights mounted at an angle so he's still accurate at close range. You'll notice the scope that's mounted in the normal place so he can shoot long range targets.


    Here's the long range targets. The shooter is where the crowd is, while the targets are the little black and white dots near the top of the picture.

    I just spectated for this one. This is actually a pretty major match where people come from all over the world to shoot, and I've never shot 3 gun before. I'd like to get a couple local matches under my belt before I try something like this.

    Plus, 3 gun looks really expensive. Although I know you don't have to spend big bucks on equipment and you can shoot whatever guns you want, I'm sure people were walking around with more than $10,000 in gear.

    I've got some more pictures of the Spring Steel event that I'll post, which I did shoot.
